Subject: Re: jihad over?
"jihad over?" Of course not.
I got a note from a e-pal asking that, and he included this llnk to an article he agreed with:
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/osama-bin-laden-chicken-or-egg/
The two quotes referenced in the article did not say jihad was over -- that was the author's interpretation. The article was effective without the quotes.
Jihad -- the 'holy war' of terrorists -- can trace it beginnings to Mohammed himself and the beginning of Islam. That's why we say "radical Islam" and jihad will never be over until radical Islam is over.
Ah, does that mean we should be at war with radical Islam or, to get at the root, Islam?
No, it is impossible to kill every Muslim and eliminate Islam from human history. We should do what Rambama is doing: Manage the threat by using the 'scalpel' approach -- issuing 'death warrants' against those who organize, finance and inspire terrorist acts against us. None of that 'building roads' nonsense. I think Al-Qaeda's #2 ought to be getting ready to meet 72 virgins -- do some sit-ups, pal! :p

uh, good buddy...
ah be's curious. why does ya seems ta gots it in fer conservatives?
Hey, Spidey, "gots it in fer conservatives" -- me!?! ;O
Actually, I have it in for politicians, and, since conservatives -- or what passes for conservatism these days -- have either been solely in power or have shared power for 26 of the past 30 years, there seems to be a gluttony of FAT-Cats to chose from.
Note that I do not include the Supreme Court in figuring who’s in power -- while todays Supreme Court can fairly be said to be on the side of the Republican Establishment, that is hardly conservative.
LOL! In that case, you'll probably like this:

Um. I do not know what to say. Anytime an article starts in on long-term sociological trends, it's over my head. While I agree that the decline of unions is a sad and regrettable chapter in American history, I also feel that the article gives way too much credit to unions for doing good. But when the article blamed feminism and long hair for the decline of unions, I figured I was reading satire -- tho I could not figure out what is being made fun of. So, I will say "Thank You for the link," and leave it at that.
